What’s all the CRUNCH about?

One of our customer’s favorite products here at Krema is our Buckeye Crunch!

Buckeye Crunch is also known as Heavenly Crunch because it’s perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter was surely a match made in Heaven :)

So what exactly IS Buckeye Crunch? Well, it all started as a recipe for the ultimate tailgating treat, but ended up as what is described as “heaven in a Bag.”  Using only the finest ingredients, of course, we created the best caramel corn imaginable, and mixed in a touch of peanut butter.  Then we smothered it all in rich chocolate to create the ultimate treat!  Even though our little Krema kitchen has been overwhelmed by demand, we still make this scrumptious creation    BY HAND in small batches with the same commitment to quality we have had for over 100 years!

With each purchase of a box of Buckeye Crunch – part of the proceeds go towards the James Cancer Center at The Ohio State University.  So don’t forget to get your Buckeye Crunch this holiday season and help us “Put the Crunch on Cancer!”

Peanuts for your little Peanut

Posted on by

There seems to be a lot of hoopla out there concerning peanuts and peanut allergies especially when it comes to babies and kids.  So, what are the real facts??  Here’s a little excerpt from babyparenting.about.com…

“Question: When is it safe to give my child peanut butter? My daughter is a year old and is eating most of what we eat, so I was wondering if it’s safe yet.”

“Answer: Peanuts make the top of the big 8 list of food allergies but there really is no definitive answer to this question. Much depends on your family history. If you or anyone in your child’s family has a food allergy or allergic type disorder (like asthma or eczema) or if your child has had a food allergy in the past, then you should wait to introduce peanuts and peanut butter. How long? According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, you should wait until your child is 3 years old…

“If there is none of the above in you or your child’s history, however, then peanut butter can be a healthy addition to the diet when your child turns 1 year old. Just be sure to avoid giving big spoonfuls of peanut butter and never give children under 3 years of age whole peanuts because these pose a choking hazard.”

Here at Krema, we all eat our all-natural PB everyday and feed it to our children (who also LOVE our PB :-) And we feel great knowing that our kids are getting such a healthy, natural protein that tastes phenomenal and is great for their growing bodies! Of course we recommend our PB for you and your families but make sure that you have consulted your child’s pediatrician to discuss all dietary concerns first.

Happy PBing!

Krema Peanut Butter Balls Recipe

Posted on by

Happy Friday!  One of our favorite nutty friends Heather has experimented with our Krema PB making this fun dessert!  Yum!  Here’s the recipe pulled directly off of Heather’s website at foodnfeelings.com. Why don’t you try it out this weekend and impress your friends and family!!

Krema Peanut Butter Balls:
3/4 c. peanut butter
1/4 c. powdered milk
1/3 c. honey
8 crushed graham crackers
Wheat germ

“Mix first four ingredients.  Form into small balls and roll in the wheat germ.”

“I added a little bit of oatmeal to mine as well just to make it a complete protein! These babies are amazing and the reason why is the peanut butter. I bet you didn’t think that a healthy version of peanut butter balls were possible! Well now you know. You can have your peanut butter and eat it too! After having a stress full week these are just what I needed. You can add anything to these balls. Coconut, gogi berries, cinnamon, raisins, the list could go on.”

Thanks Heather!!!  Its great to have such a fabulously nutty friend like you!!
